First Seacoast Bank unveils modernized Durham branch featuring enhanced convenience and design

DOVER — First Seacoast Bank is proud to announce the opening of its newly relocated Durham branch, situated in the Hannaford plaza at 7K Mill Road. While the branch remains in the same familiar plaza, the move from one end to the other offers a premier end-unit location, enabling a significant upgrade in both customer experience and banking technology.

The new facility is designed with the diverse needs of the Durham community in mind, serving the unique blend of University of New Hampshire students and local year-round residents. The most striking feature of the new location is the abundance of natural light. Unlike the previous space, the new end-unit branch features expansive windows that create a bright, airy, and "uplifting" environment. This modern interior reflects First Seacoast Bank’s commitment to providing a welcoming atmosphere for customers to conduct routine banking and discuss their financial goals with the Durham team, led by Assistant Vice President and Branch Manager Cathi Temple.

"We are thrilled to elevate our presence in Durham," said Temple. "By moving to this new end unit, we’ve been able to bring our customers the modern conveniences they’ve been asking for, like the drive-up window and outdoor ATM. The feel of the new, sun-drenched interior matches the high level of service our team provides every day. Our customers love it! They comment on how bright it is in here."

In addition to the aesthetic upgrades, the move introduces major functional improvements that were not available at the previous site:

• New Drive-Up Teller Window: For the first time at the Durham location, customers can now perform their banking transactions from the comfort of their vehicles, providing a faster and more accessible option for busy families and professionals.

• Enhanced ATM Access: The branch has upgraded from an indoor-only ATM to a brand-new, 24/7 outdoor ATM. This allows students and residents to access cash and account services at any time without needing to enter the building.

“I’ve been waiting for this drive-up window for 18 years!,” quipped Durham Customer Service Representative, Jen Johns. ”The convenience of the service cannot be understated, and the excited smiles from our regular customers who don’t have to get out of their cars in the rain are fun and such a great thing. It’s the little things that can bring so much joy!”

The Durham branch continues to offer a full suite of personal and business banking services. Residents and University of New Hampshire students alike are encouraged to stop by to tour the new space and meet the local banking team.
